Hey All,

Was at Devonport today expecting to get on the 14:57 service to Gunnislake,

Everything was on time, until then the Info Point at Devonport, come up with Delayed by 4 Mins, then 8, 12, 16, 20 before announcing the service was cancelled due to 'High Winds'

Have services been cancelled through out the day? Or just the 14:57?
Any more Info on this would be appreciated

Thanks, Connor  Wink

It did run, however was cancelled from Devonport, Dockyard & Keyham in an attempt to make 30 mins delay (unsuccessfully)

Looks like the delay at Plymouth was as a result of waiting for a crew member.

But 'High Winds'  Huh That's a bit of a weird announcement.

'Live Departures' explained it as 'waiting for train crew'.

Maybe one of the crew was delayed by a bout of severe flatulence?!
